Wednesdayz
has been running now for 5 years. During this time we have offered
various youth clubs for the whole family and art and craft sessions for
children with ADHD and / or ASD and their siblings.
More recently our
criteria has expanded to include children with BSED and their families.
We are
Plymouth based, and we welcome members from all the local districts within
and outside the city. Although preference must be given to Plymouth
residents.
Unfortunately we
can only offer advice and support to parents/carers/teachers/ family and
friends of school age children, as described in our aims and objectives.
We aim to bring
these more frequently commonly diagnosed conditions to the forefront of
others lives, educating and having fun along the way, taking pride in
our children who are after all our future generations.
A child with any
disability is a challenge in itself, but the more invisible the actual
disability the less likely outsiders are to see it and allow for the
natural behaviour of a child with such conditions.
Actually getting a
diagnosis within Plymouth can be a lengthy procedure, with as many ups
as downs and minimal support for parents like us.
There are some
treatments and medications that can help our special kids, but most of
our difficulties are with people who just do not understand our quirky
little families.
